LONDON MAY

Drummer Extraordinaire LONDON MAY Exhumes 15 Killer Cuts From His Vault

Featuring Unreleased Tracks by SAMHAIN, DAG NASTY & CIRCLE JERKS!

London May's "Devilution:The Early Years" on Cleopatra Records is a deluxe CD/LP that chronicles the first 12 years of London's illustrious career behind the drum set and contains 15 remastered tracks from 11 different bands, all featuring London's signature bashing. Beginning with his earliest studio recordings at the age of 14 through his pioneering days with Discord Record's Reptile House and Dag Nasty, The Early Years also includes his bloody era with Samhain and even a never-before-heard audition tape with the legendary Circle Jerks. A punk drummer's journey, Devilution has it all and everything in between. Along with rare photos and ephemera, extensive liner notes, and a forward by Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Devilution: The Early Years is a loud, exciting trip down memory lane for a passionate musician who's busy feet barely touched the ground during the 1980's hard core explosion.

Available on CD and vinyl! In stores 7/1/16 or direct from Cleopatra Records:

May was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, but raised in Baltimore, MD.

May played on the group's best known release, November-Coming-Fire as well as Samhain Live '85–'86 and the bonus tracks on the 2001 re-release of the band's last album Final Descent. During his long and continuing music career he has also recorded and performed with such popular artists as Lol Tolhurst (of The Cure), Tiger Army, Son Of Sam, Dag Nasty, Lee Ving (of Fear), Pat Smear (Of Nirvana, Germs) , Exene Cervenka (of X), Cold Cave, Reptile House, Jackass star Chris Pontius, and Distorted Pony.
